lngc2013: I am not a newcomer, just a bit of a noob again :/ after having not touched GoG for some time and not sure how GoG has progressed.
None of that should be relevant to the problems you encountered. It's not your fault at all whatsoever. If the potential options and how to use them (or not) were made clear by the relevant interfaces - as they easily could be made - then no one would run into the kinds of problems that you did. Yet you did, and many other customers experience the same exact problems and post about it on these boards often. That indicates a problem on GOG's end that requires a solution on their part. If their end users are not understanding what's going on, then it's because they failed to communicate what is going on in a clear way.
But I suspect that GOG leaves these things unclear deliberately as a covert means to push the Galaxy client onto as many of their customers as possible...because many customers don't understand that it's not needed nor how to avoid using it; therefore they use it, even though a lot them really don't want to, and wouldn't have, if given a clearly informed choice.
For a long time, many people have posted that GOG should make these things more clear, yet they never do.
